My Unofficial Awards Ceremony

Post navigation

Welcome to my Unofficial Awards Ceremony of 2012, unofficial because there will be no rules and no awards. And, guess what? This just happens to be my 100th post! I say it’s time to have a party.

We’ll have cake

This cake comes to you courtesy of Sandee. I hope she doesn’t mind…I simply can’t resist. It’s better than sex…or uh, it replaces sex, at least for someone out there. Personally, I see no need for mutual exclusivity, am I right? In any case, this will be good cake!

We can dress up

I say Yeses to these dresses! La La agreed we could borrow them for our party. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to wear Barbie pink and canary yellow.

No, this is not a wedding.

Guys, put something on.Okay, if you must…

I thank you, dear readers, for coming back to my blog time and time again. Thanks reading and for your thoughtful comments. I have made some cherished friends here.

I want to thank you for your blogs and for sharing your words, poetry, stories, photos, and your dreams, hopes, and fears. You have inspired, informed, and entertained me. You’ve made me laugh and cry.

I want to acknowledge a few bloggers who gave shout outs to my blog over the past couple of months. I appreciate your kindness, and see, I didn’t forget. Generally, awards make my cluttered brain mind more cluttered. Trust me, this is not a good thing. So, here is a simple nod back to you.

Now, I’d like to shine a spotlight on two bloggers who have been supportive of me.

Sam Flowers at Blog, Rest and Play – I always feel I take a bit of Scottish culture with me after having visited Sam’s blog. He writes about art, cinema, television, music, and writes fiction as well. Check out Show Me the Monet about a defunct show, which had debuted new artists. You may also enjoy Sam’s walk in the Scottish countryside, Lost in the woods.

Shalagh Hogan at Shalavee.com – Check out her eclectic blog. Laugh with her in Mommy’s Monkey Mind. You may also enjoy Good Fortune, where Shalagh survived near electrocution while decorating her Christmas tree, while pregnant I might add.

Thanks to Sam and Shalagh.

Thanks to all of you for hanging out with me for the last six months. I look forward to more blogging adventures with you.

Amy,
your 100th post and an awards ceremony too! Congratulations on everything. I’m not sure if I’d look good in all blue, but honestly, probably better than in one of Lala’s dresses. And the cake? If it’s as good as you say, bring it on. 🙂 Good luck and here’s to another 100 wonderful posts.

David,
Thank you. You’ve been such a great blogging friend. The blue is merely a suggestion. I’m sure you can come some other fantastical idea. Perhaps you could come as Squid, dressed as a squid. Yes, I think the cake is in order! Thank you so much.

I’d like to eat lots of cake with the blue man 🙂 . I look forward to clicking on the links you have thoughtfully put in this awesome 100th post. I am glad our blogging paths have crossed. I do enjoy your writing.

Thanks, Audra. By all means, have cake with the blue man 🙂 I think he’s available, although Leo expressed interest. You may have to fight over him. Me too, that our paths have crossed. It was just meant to be. I enjoy your work, too.

Sure, Audra. I won’t tell anyone. The blue man is quite appealing. Now, just imagine frosting all over him. Sorry, what am I saying? El Guapo wants to have sex with the cake, so…this will also be our secret.

well now we all do like our cake, now don’t we :0)
frosting ala blue man.. yummy. I think I’ll make a cake for hubby when he gets home..yup.. that is what i am going to do ..now where is that blue body paint?

Um, humbled Ms. Bumble. Thanks so very much for your shout out. You are an official member of my exclusive Good Egg Club, nice generous women who I am extremely fond of. Congratulations on staying the blogging course. I look forward to checking out your other friends’ sites.
And How do I love those dresses? Let me count the ways!

I laughed when I read the La La’s post about those dresses.
Congrats on the 100 post, I haven’t read all 100 but what I’ve read I’be enjoyed, looking forward to more.
The blue guy is not my type but since you are giving him away (cuz you are, aren’t you?) I’ll take him.

Thanks, Leo! I’m so happy we met. You can’t go wrong with these dresses, right? Of course, you can have the blue guy, although you’re welcome to bring your own date as well 🙂 Blue guy does look fun, doesn’t he? That’s why I invited him! Maybe without all the blue he could be your type.

Amy,
I’m so glad we found each other here on WordPress! Congratulations on 100 posts – amazing milestone isn’t it? And I’ll check out the links you mention above. And enjoy a bite of cake. I look forward to many more posts from both of us!
Hugs,
Cathy

Cathy,
Likewise…I’m so happy our paths crossed. It did feel like an accomplishment to see the number 100! I’ve made it now. Yes, have some cake please. I think everyone could have their own individual cake. I look forward to more of your posts, too. Hugs to you.
Amy

Congratulations, Amy!! 100 posts is quite an accomplishment. The cake is to die for, literally. Nothing would make me happier than diving into that tower of frosted goodness head first.
The pink and canary yellow dresses are STUNNING!! Why should Barbie get all the fun? I say we all start dressing in plastic shoes and hot colors.
Thanks for always writing posts that are entertaining and thoughtful. I’m looking forward to the next 100!!!
Lisa

Thank you, Lisa!! I love your enthusiasm!! Let’s all just dive into that cake. What could be better?! Those dresses will make a party. Heck, let’s just go grocery shopping in them, to work, wherever!! Thank you. I always look forward to your thoughtful comments. And, of course, thanks for reading. Amy xoxo

Congratulations on 100 posts! :happy dance:
Reminding myself cake is a sometimes food, but this is a once in a lifetime! Let us have cake!
Beautiful dresses, but I won’t,… wait this is the world we create. Bring the dresses on. I’ll look stunning.
Thank you for the shout out and the kind compliment. I’m so touched.
I’m so happy and honored to have come across your blog. Thanks for showing me the fun of Friday Fictioneers.

Thank you, thank you, Mari! I’m glad you enjoyed this and I’m happy to give a shout out to you. So, pick out a dress and have an entire cake to yourself. Why not?!! You most definitely will look stunning. I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the Fictioneers. It is fun, isn’t it? It’s always a satisfying experience to me. I’m glad I could turn you on to it.

Love Fictioneers. I’m so addicted to it. Thank you again for it. Love your blog too. I had to post on Facebook and Twitter abut this post and my awesome friend giving me a shout out! Contratz again on 100!

Wonderful, Mari! I’m touched that you liked it so much. I merely introduced the Fictioneers…if that. It’s all you doing the writing. Good for you for doing it and keeping it up. I’m proud of you. I’ve really enjoyed reading your stories!

Wow Amy! You go girl! Thank you so much also for the shout out. You are the greatest! I am not a girly girl but I got to say I love the dresses! And the cake?? Makes me have a sugar rush just looking at it. In a good way. Congrats on the 100 and congrats on being a good person. Love reading your posts. Have a great New Year and look forward to your next 100!

Thank you, Jackie! I’m happy you liked the shout out. It just seems like a good time to wear such a dress. Since you’re a guest of honor, you can have a whole cake! How about that? Thanks, Jackie, I do enjoy your blog and your thoughtful comments! I do think I have another 100 in me! Happy New Year to you, too!

Oh, El Guapo, I’ll leave it up to you to come up with all the fanciful ideas like sex in the cake! Why didn’t I think of that one?! Or, with it…sure. Be my guest. Should I make an announcement? Likewise, it’s a pleasure to know you and read your wonderful blog! Thank you.

You’re looking pretty good for 100, B.F! But seriously, congratulations!!! That’s some very impressive work! It would take me and 9 other people to even count that high! 😉
Did you ever see the show ‘Arrested Development’, B.F? One character (Tobias) was perpetually walking around in blue body-paint because he was hoping to be a stand-in for the blue-man-group (what I first thought of when I saw your blue dude)…
🙂

Thanks, SIG. No, I didn’t really watch Arrested Development, but I do recall that episode from somewhere. Do you know that I have CD of Blue Man Group! Yes, I do! Blue dude just wanted to come to the party. I think he’s a big hit. 🙂

Before I return to my padded cell where it IS NORMAL !! Congratulations on your 100th post Amy. A post where a 100 cakes are balanced on one candle….I’ll go with that. 2 cracking ladies wearing marquee tents…..I’ll go with that. But a man who has just been swimming in the Arctic Ocean…… what is that all about? Just my sort of woman….. totally daft !! Ralph xox
